This is just a start. I'll add more to it, and I'd welcome your suggestions!
I can't believe you forgot the lexicon!

Added!
In fact, I'll make a separate fashion section, so we can add more relevant links and resources specifically for steampunk and steam-era fashion.
This account on instagram is only vintage photos, mostly from the Victorian era, but some from a little later as well. Which is excellent if you are doing research into the fashions of the era.
The Pursuit of Power: Europe 1815-1914 by Richard J. Evans is a very good work on the period that Steampunk plays on.
Added several websites to the list.
I also added a links page to the blog, with the same links.
Found a cool blog: On Verticality "explores the human need to escape the surface of the earth through vertical means."
